Thought Reform @ Church?

Concerning Things Cultic within Biblical Christianity

Spiritual Abuse describes the process by which a religious authority misuses power and the trust of their flock in order to meet their own needs or the needs of the system.

The blog title emphasizes that Christians live under the unmerited favor of God (grace) as opposed to earning favor with God.

Grace cannot be earned through submission to any law and comes by unmerited favor through faith alone!
